There's currently a Supreme Court case pending about special education and the definition of "equal treatment" and I pose the question, which form of equal protection should we use in cases of failing schools, special education, and similar expensive problems, equality of opportunity (funding) or equality of outcome?

To me, it seems moronic that we spend 70k/per student per year on special ed kids to make everyone feel better. Any rational school funding scheme should ideally fund every student equally well (accounting for cost of living diffs) and let the chips fall where they may.

Did you have that red title before you posted this? If not, you earned it here.
